All these applicant aid products like AutoApplyAI are solving the problem that employers created. It’s been a huge burden for applicants to go through the process. Any tool I can use to automate my job application process is something I’m going to immediately be interested in.

Plus, applicants need the job to survive, while the employers aren’t really on that same level of desperation.
> not what I meant

> the libs are all in C

Yeah node uses bindings too, examples:

node-llama-cpp (C++)... node-SDL (C)...

Why wouldn't it also be true for mechatronics? Have some native bindings for C libraries then you can write Node or Python and still use the machine code where needed. Speaking of which:

> The speed of the underlying execution is not meaningfully affected by the speed of the Python interpreter

Wouldn't both JIT vs not JIT have an impact on speed, and also some of the "heuristical" stuff V8 does?

I wouldn't rule out JavaScript for mechatronics, everything ends up in JavaScript.

Transcript with tesseract:

When I was at Stanford with the AI project [in the late 1960s]
one of the things we used to do every Thanksgiving is have a
programming contest with people on research projects in the Bay
area. The prize I think was a turkey.

McCarthy used to make up the problems. The one year that
Knuth entered this, he won both the fastest time getting the
program running and he also won the fastest execution of the
algorithm. He did it on the worst system with remote batch
called the Wilbur system. And he basically beat the shit out of
everyone.

And they asked him, "How could you possibly do this?" And
he answered, "When I learned how to program, you were
lucky if you got five minutes with the machine a day. If you
wanted to get the program going, it just had to be written
right. So people just learned to program like it was carving
in stone. You sort of have to sidle up to it. That’s how I
learned to program.

Large Scale Photonic Chip developed [video]
The pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI) continuously demands higher computing performance. Despite the superior processing speed and efficiency of integrated photonic circuits, their capacity and scalability are restricted by unavoidable errors, such that only simple tasks and shallow models are realized. To support modern AGIs, we designed Taichi—large-scale photonic chiplets based on an integrated diffractive-interference hybrid design and a general distributed computing architecture that has millions-of-neurons capability with 160–tera-operations per second per watt (TOPS/W) energy efficiency. Taichi experimentally achieved on-chip 1000-category–level classification (testing at 91.89% accuracy in the 1623-category Omniglot dataset) and high-fidelity artificial intelligence–generated content with up to two orders of magnitude of improvement in efficiency. Taichi paves the way for large-scale photonic computing and advanced tasks, further exploiting the flexibility and potential of photonics for modern AGI.

As I see it, this model will be able to predict “easy” to derive tokens but will no chance on “hard” tokens.

For example doing a sum of random numbers. If the token you are trying to predict is not in the training data, even if similar patterns exist, this model defaults to the Neural Model.

I guess then it is an aide to the neural model on filling the easy patterns.
How to be a late bloomer in 2024
Personally I’d focus on arguments instead of motivations and skip arguing with those were it seems it will be or when it becomes unproductive.
Swiss banks reject Americans because of US legislation, namely FATCA (https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/tax-policy/foreign-a...) Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. It's introduced reporting requirements and thus massive costs in having US citizens banking with you, thus it's cheaper to just say no. Rational economic response.
Israeli enabled money to go in to pay government salaries to prevent Gaza from descending in chaos. That said I think it's a matter of fact that maintaining Hamas as a counter to the PA was part of strategy of the Netanyahu government.

I think pretty much any money going into Gaza should be considered funding Hamas. It either went directly to Hamas or it was taxed or it allowed Hamas not to spent that money. This means Europe and the US also funded Hamas.
There Is No Antimemetics Division
Of course, I totally agree that EU has to work on their common standards to run/startup a business.. and it is likely affecting their competitiveness (along with few other factors).

I should have added the context for my earlier comment. I was merely reacting to the parent's proposal "..incorporate the European states as self-governing US territories under the supervision of the federal government. And absorb NATO into DoD.." It has lot more long-term repercussions than merely standardizing the standards !! I assume he was n't serious and probably just a clickbait comment to bring attention to the issue.
> Outdated, how?

Based on rare encounters with data processors outside of EU. They sell their products to me based on the knowledge that is at least 10 years old (and they use some old contacts for it).

> I just gave an example

Irrelevant. I‘m talking only about my experience, because I‘m actively exercising my rights under GDPR and similar privacy laws.

> GDPR hasn't stopped companies from collecting the data

GDPR made it illegal to collect it without unambiguous consent. If you want privacy, you can get it. As I can see from the inside sources, every big business in EU cares about compliance. Startups usually take a risk-based approach, but they don’t dare to sell the data and mostly compromise on security until they get bigger. Overall, here it is much safer and saner environment, if you don’t consent to marketing stuff. All you need is to read the label on the checkbox when you sign up.

There’s a residential road not too far from me that is legitimately 8 cars wide. The people there continuously wonder why cars are literally drag racing next to houses. That’s why.
A pedestrian safety feature doesn't need to be ugly. Consider trees, or big rocks, or unusually sturdy art installations, or nice wrought iron poles with decorative flourishes.
Yep. The bollards rise much faster than you'd think, so you're in real trouble if you ignore the no entry signs.

Perhaps it's worth mentioning some lesser known big achievements of the Manhattan Project. It's not the scientists. It's Hanford and Oak Ridge. Hanford was not only nuclear reactors but a city of more than 43 000 people out of literally nothing. Oak Ridge had the largest building in the world, K-25. It was only surpassed by the Boeing Everett Factory more than twenty years later. These two sites were also the major cost centers of the project. Science is cheap. Enriching uranium and manufacturing plutonium -- especially when no one did it before -- is not.
I was recently introduced to the World Bollard Association Twitter channel, which is extremely compelling to scroll through, albeit not entirely wholesome.

There's some amount of malicious joy as errant cars are punished by contact with bollards, as well as the gratitude for safety of pedestrians this purchases.

It might be worth a scroll through:

This is the most likely possibility. Amateur astronomers (as well as professionals) never saw an inkling of UFOs in space. So either UFOs are cloaked in space and decloaks in the atmosphere, or they come from earth.

If i push a bayesian reasoning far enough, i'll say i think weird theories involving lizard people, Atlantis or hollow earth (or illuminaties or... etc) are sightly more plausible than those involving extraterrestrial beings. Most plausible is that none of them is correct, but still.

I’m surprised how “cheap” the Manhattan Project and Apollo Program were.

It’s bizarre we put people on the Moon in the ‘60s for an amount of money similar to Apple’s recent stock buybacks.

Amazon must post national-scale notices, authored by the NLRB, that "joining a Union is Okay, and Amazon violated labor laws", effectively.
Mindset is on my list as well. I spent my high school years definitely locked in the fixed mindset. The transition to college was thus challenging. Peak and Ultralearning mske some good points as well.
I did some further research and technically the EU has banned them, but only from being broadcasted and they are supposed to be DNS-blocked but failing to do so is without legal consequences.

To me this is more a discouragement of promotion than any real ban, but I will edit my previous comment.

> when bollards might prevent the need for many emergency responses

I doubt that? If a bollard stops a car which would have caused an emergency that is often reason enough for an emergency response in itself. It doesn’t change the number of emergency calls, just changes the form of the emergency.

Also the whole argument you are making is silly. A bollard on a street crossing can prevent some kind of emergencies (the kind a runaway vehicle would cause). It absolutely does nothing to prevent other kind of emergencies (like fires caused by faulty wires, or hearth attacks) but might lenghten the response time for those. There would be maybe some form of irony if emergency responses were only required because of runaway cars, but that is far from the case.
some gentrifiers are pulled into 'grubby, lively' neighborhood because they're attracted to those qualities. these gentrifiers won't complain and will likely try to preserve those attributes.

but there's another class of gentrifiers that aren't pulled into these neighborhoods. rather, they are pushed out of the places they'd like to live and have to settle for the grubby lively neighborhood. these are the ones that complain because they don't really want to be there in the first place.

people don't like to talk about this distinction because they like to treat all gentrifiers as invaders/colonizers without realizing that many of them are also displaced from their neighborhoods
I'm independent, but I try out Gemini every time I need some dumb powershell plumbing to tie things together.

It's a net time saver, but Gemini still trips up on all of the wacky foibles of powershell, so it needs thorough code review.

It’s very much legal in wartime, for exactly those sorts of purposes. Though I’m not sure we’ve tested the legality of it in this modern world where nobody actually formally declares war anymore—I don’t think it’s been attempted.

(Please don’t flame thinking I’m hardcore in support of a particular side in this war due to this post—you’ve very likely gotten the wrong impression. I’m commenting only on the narrow point that the US in fact can censor, including with prior restraint in certain circumstances, during war.)

Like sibling said, they've been pretty clear on the why. They called an emergency session and Senator Ricketts was pretty clear that they view pro-Palestinian tiktok content as Chinese propaganda that's inciting the youth to protest[0].

The administration has been threatening tiktok for two Presidental terms, but it wasn't until pro-Palestinian tiktok content had "more reach than the top 10 US news sites, combined" that they've taken broad bipartisan action.

I've personally experienced the propaganda that US mainstream media doles out, I know it's real; in my mind this smacks of leaders reacting in fear to the erosion of control over what the American people can know about what's happening in the war. This lines up exactly with Israel's muting of Al Jazzera.

Pretty amusing to watch sibling's link of Mitt Romney and the interviewer haltingly say "narrative" in hushed tones, like they know it's some kind of dirty word.

The thing with propaganda is that it needs to have parts rooted in truth in order to be effective outside total information control; I consider the ability to consume everyone's propaganda an essential tool in distilling the most truth possible in a world where media and leadership across the world are openly concerned with the breakdown of their PR (read propaganda).

For me Delta has been the one that is garbage lately. It used to be my favorite but the last five flights have all had something go wrong. When I requested proof of delay for travel insurance it took them ages to send it over. Tbf though a lot of the issues might just be related to their hub being in Atlanta. I suppose it is hard to make such a gigantic airport efficient but wow do I hate Atlanta layovers (and being stuck there overnight when something goes wrong).

Only one I've never had issues with is Alaska but Southwest is usually good, plus their boarding procedure is by far the most organized. Seriously, why do so many airlines just make it a mad-dash by group?

> which is actually a colonization effort dressed up for the modern age

Which colonies have been established by the US? Are you talking about the military bases in foreign countries?
We should also keep in mind the Palestinians refused to allow the IDF to conduct its own forensic investigation. That's partly why the was no definite conclusion from the investigation into the matter. You can't demand that Israel investigate and then not enable it to do so.

"The US State Department subsequently announced on July 4 that tests by independent ballistics experts under U.S. oversight were not conclusive about the gun it was fired from but that US officials have concluded that gunfire from Israeli positions most likely killed Akleh and that there was "no reason to believe" her shooting was intentional. US investigators had "full access"[138] to both IDF and PA investigations.[139][140][141] The Palestinian Public Prosecutor's Office disputes the US conclusion that the bullet cannot be matched to a gun and maintains its position that the killing was premeditated.[142] On July 5, the US stressed that it did not conduct its own probe, but the conclusion was a "summation" of investigations by the Palestinian Authority and Israel.[143]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shireen_Abu_Akleh#Subsequent_i...

Sure. But normalising discrimination based on race entrenches it.
> Flexible markers (which aren’t even attempting to be bollards, to be clear) are usually a step up from a simple painted line

There's a T-intersection near my house which is more of a 30°/150° split, and I'm glad they finally upgraded to those not-quite-barriers: It has reduced the number of people who were ignoring the stop-sign and driving straight through as if it were just a curve in the road, which could easily cause head-on collisions. (The gore-point is also paved, not a raised curb.)

Even so, some of the sticks have been lost to attrition now, and I kinda wish they'd get replaced with much heavier ones guaranteed to leave big dents and scratches...

> ... and then not have any of your usual development tools, environment, system layout, or repair techniques because you're inside someone else's "works on my system" that they threw over the wall.

The thing is, the "it works" is reproducible because of containers. Which is a step above just hoping that it works.

HA is also easy to "patch". You can just install your custom components in `config/custom_components`, it can also be used to "override" core HA files.

Finally, if you are doing intrusive development, you can easily launch HA locally. macOS, Linux, and WSL are supported. You will lose the ability to install add-ons via the addon manager, but that's about it.

FWIW, I had the same aversion to their custom OS and their crazy container-based setup initially. For a couple of years, I used to run HA as a Python app and managed the dependencies manually. Then I tried the HAOS and it... kinda just worked.

There’s nothing that bothers me more than this sort of cultural critique about X vague value that doesn’t have much meaning in and of itself. They give me an immediate knee-jerk reaction, since they’re usually pretty meaningless. Things need to be more “serious?” What?
